O12.3 for interactivity

Here is a small patch against O12.2. This should not change peformance in any 
way but removes redundant code (which we all love to do). Ingo pointed out
that new forks wont have any sleep time to earn as sleep_avg. It is also
extrememly unlikely that there won't be any sleep time with nanosecond 
timing. Patch applies to 2.6.0-test2-mm4 or test2 patched with O12.2.
